For almost a year now I have been running a Discord server with a fellow owner and a small staff team called the Source Modding Community hence the title of the post. The goal of the Discord server is to provide a place for Valve modders to come together to discuss modding, ask and answer questions, showcase their mods and WIP's, and more. Currently we are over four hundred members strong with some very familiar places from around the Gldsrc and Source modding community as well as other places from the gaming world. Right now we have a system where people can receive custom roles depending on what they are talented at such as Level Designers, Audio Engineers, and so on. By giving people these roles other modders can contact them for help and these members can offer their services to mods making everything run like one big machine. Modders can also request to make their own text channels for discussing their projects with the rest of the server, find help, and show off any WIP content to get people interested in what they are doing. Currently as of this email our list of WIP mods mainly stem from Half-Life 1, Half-Life 2, and Portal 2 however if we get people who mod other games such as Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 or CSGO and the community shows interest we will open mod channels up for those games as well. It would also be cool to see some SMOD related channels on here so people can showcase any WIP mods and get feedback and whatnot from the rest of the community.

Even if you aren't working on an SMOD mod feel free to join to discuss other mod projects or to just hang out with the rest of the community. Hope to see some of you cool cats on there!

Note: All new members must contact a staff member or leave a message on the "new-member-hub" asking for membership + any special roles, this is to prevent ban evasion and gives people a chance to view what the server has to offer without being an official member.
